Hmm would I rather be anorexic or have my feet bound and deformed? The whole foot binding thing hasn't caught on here like getting poorly translated Chinese character tats haveRUBBISH wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 1:13 am What I find odd is how in China anorexia was never an issue until very recently. Granted China has suffered near uncountable famines in its history but in the last 50 years or so has been relatively stable in that respect and now they have anorexics.
I've read the reasoning being that its 'an imported illness from western culture' but I'm thinking thats not fully the reason. I'm thinking actually having a stable food supply could be part of the issue and that rock n roll and blue jeans is maybe just a tiny part of the problem...oh and that humans are inherently kind of fucked up is a large factor in this.
I'm pretty sure I've heard historical stories of Chinese people purposely starving themselves to death for whatever reasons so...yeah...I dunno.

Re: Luke's misplaced thoughts
or aneroxia. that neighbour was complaining about the Chinese people he had to work with said that the Chinese were all "antisocial". maybe it's partly about pride in one's culture. I decided he was a Chinese spy hahaNoiseWiki wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 8:16 amHmm would I rather be anorexic or have my feet bound and deformed?

Re: Luke's misplaced thoughts
so anyway. now the continuous rap paranoia has faded, I am starting to believe my imaginary friend got me and my twin's childhood confused, slept with him thinking he was me, and wrongly believe her children are his. less tragic for sure

Re: Luke's misplaced thoughts
until I have it proven either way, my life is neither tragedy nor farce, and there is no need to side with either even in my imagination: I am a normal guy with schizophrenia, and "imaginary friend was an app" lol

They aren't antisocial you just have to make an effort to talk to them. Being racist and stupid probably doesn't help.Social_Drift wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 1:43 pmor aneroxia. that neighbour was complaining about the Chinese people he had to work with said that the Chinese were all "antisocial". maybe it's partly about pride in one's culture.

Re: Luke's misplaced thoughts
there was a chinese guy in my hals in glasgow; a nice guy, whenever I knocked on his door. I remember for the first few weeks listening to him on the phone kinda zoning out on his tonal language; I found it really expressive
didn't make a single friend that year, however.

Re: Luke's misplaced thoughts
I keep thinking how much easier it would be to sleep and not wake up. my life is just a trial, and any victory (or sense of pleasure) is completely dwarfed by failure.
